Technology Advisory Group

The IT Matters Fall edition was recently posted to RoyalNews. It can be found here. A few things that may be of interest:

1. With the upgrade to the wireless network (thus far focused primarily on the student residential spaces), the number of wireless connections being used by students has risen dramatically. Phase Three of the wireless project is scheduled to begin in the summer and will include the academic, administrative, and outdoor spaces
2. A reminder that faculty are allocated one computer (either desktop OR laptop) which is allocated from the IR Services budget. Any faculty that upgrades their computer must return their old computer to IT Services for recycling.
3. Lecture capture technologies are in the implementation stage in Loyola Science Center. By the Spring 2012 semester, it is expected that there will be three spaces are are fully mediated: including lecture capture with video and audio of the professor, as well as side-by-side capture of anything projected through the computer. To schedule rooms with these capabilities, be sure to request them from your department chair and/or dean.
4. Remember, in order to access the internet through the wired or wireless networks on campus, your computer MUST have a modern and updated antivirus software installed.
